This is all I have right now if you notice through out the years the the name were spelled in different ways, I don't know if it error on censor personel because of heavy accents? But this is my family on my grandmothers side. Brothers and sisters she never talked about or her parents I am thinking that maybe she was disowned because of divorce? I am sure it is the same Santelia/Santelio's you are looking for. Hope this helps maybe we are related? Toni Altobelli
